I saw this car December 1999 at Friendship Motors in WI. At that time the body tag data was 59 S 723 X11.

It's come a long way.

Maybe there's a slight chance this type of post might deter counterfeiters? If they fake a trim tag, they know they might get busted this way. Ya think? Nah!

Harris Auto Group? You are new here.

Not a good idea to question our experts.

Car recently sold at Mecum.

Drivetrain is questionable. Axle definitely not original. Tag looks "off".

The sad truth is today's buyers don't want to know the truth. Don't want to know what's correct. Their peer group will never know either, or care I guess.

Those broach lines are not parallel. Nothing original about them

Axle doesn't look original.
Transmission doesn't look original.
Engine pad has fake broach marks.
Tag is not the same as it was in 1999.
